The Pro-Chancellor of the University Of Benin, Senator Effiong Bob, has appealed to the striking university lecturers to return to the classroom in honour of the Late Professor Festus Iyayi.

The Former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) died in a road accident involving the convoy of the Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada, near Lokoja, on his way to the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the union in Kano.

While on a condolence visit to the bereaved family, Senator Bob pointed out that Professor Iyayi died while trying to resolve the four-month strike by ASUU and ending the strike in his honour would be a well deserved one.
